Back in June, Qualcomm filed a patent infringement suit against Meizu alleging that it had spent more than a year negotiating with the company regarding its use of certain 3G and 4G standards. Now, however, Qualcomm has granted Meizu a license over the patents in question after the duo reached an agreement. Qualcomm has, in turn, dropped its legal cases against Meizu in China, Germany, France, and the U.S..

Unsurprisingly, given the size of China’s mobile market, these deals are hugely important to Qualcomm. The firm said new licensing deals from China were a key driver of its impressive Q4 financial results, which saw net income rise 51 percent year-on-year to reach $1.6 billion.
